Warnett Hallen LLP has won the title of Vancouver’s “Best Lawyer When Accident Strikes” for 2019 by The Georgia Straight newspaper. It’s the fourth year in a row that the personal injury law firm has received the honor.
“Warnett Hallen is humbled to once again be recognized for our service to the Vancouver community,” says Paul Warnett, one of the firm’s founding partners. “As lawyers, our job is to defend the rights of the injured throughout the province. It’s truly an honor for us to get such positive feedback through the Best of Vancouver award.”
Winners are determined by votes from the publication’s readers. The Straight has 816,000 readers throughout the province, and the number of votes each year often exceeds the number of people who vote in local elections, according to the newspaper.
The attorneys at Warnett Hallen represent clients who have been injured in all types of accidents throughout British Columbia. This includes ICBC claims for auto accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, animal attacks, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims.
The firm’s legal team also handles cases involving bicycle accidents, dental malpractice, international airline injuries, occupiers liability and injuries on cruise ships and ferries.
Warnett Hallen’s partners each have more than a decade of experience demanding maximum compensation for their clients’ injuries and related losses. The firm has a track record of top-dollar verdicts and settlements, including:
- $2.4 million for the victim of a motor vehicle accident
- $1 million in compensation for injuries from a pedestrian accident
- $1.1 million in damages related to an auto accident
- $1 million for injuries and losses stemming from a motor vehicle crash
At trial, the firm’s attorneys have frequently recovered compensation in car accident cases that substantially exceeded the final settlement offers from ICBC.
“It’s our duty to ensure that clients are treated fairly throughout the claims process,” says Manjot Hallen, also a founding partner of the firm. “The past year has seen some major changes in how ICBC is compensating car accident victims, so our job is to meet any new challenges head-on so that victims receive full and fair compensation.”
The attorneys at Warnett Hallen also include Mark Lyons, senior counsel; Ken Floe, lawyer; Julie Gagnon, lawyer; and Rory Johnston, lawyer.
People who have been injured in Vancouver and throughout B.C. may be eligible for compensation if they were hurt due to someone else’s recklessness. The attorneys at Warnett Hallen provide free consultations to accident victims so that they can learn their legal rights with no obligation.
